Billionaire's Queen

Two

Fifteen years later:

"Cut! Okay Sandie you did great! As always." the photographer praised her. "Let's get you to change to a different outfit."

Sandie (aka Sandara/Dara) is one of the popular supermodels based in Australia. After she and her adopted father left their kingdom they migrated to America and then to Australia. She had used a screen name Sandie in the Western world. There she had lived a normal life as she studied at a regular school where she was scouted because of her exquisite long legs and beautiful face. Going to school at night and working as a model during the day, she was able to finished college at the top of her class. She finished a double major in political science and communication. Teddy her adopted father didn't like the idea of her becoming a supermodel because he's afraid that King Jungki might recognize her. But to Dara, she thinks that this popularity will give her the protection that she needed when she goes back to reclaim her kingdom. So she works harder and succeeded to make her name known out there in the fashion world.

Dara met Jaejoong Kim a businessman and a CEO of JK Fashion and Modeling Corporation when she attended a fashion week in Paris. They were introduced by one of the models from JK whom Dara became close to. They got into talking and before you know it they have gotten to know a bit of each other. Though they were living miles apart Jaejoong had fallen in love with her and started courting her. He would travel to Sidney, Australia just to meet with her. Jaejoong is also from Jaragon where Dara is originally from. And she wants to take this opportunity to be able to go back to her mother country without letting anyone know who she really is. Later on, her feelings is starting to grow towards Jaejoong but she still can't commit.

After thinking about it through and through, and have discussed it with her adopted father, she has decided to go back to Jaragon with him. Teddy of course was unable to stop his queen when it comes to the matter of the heart and he needs to go back. So, they planned everything from contacting the true royal families trusted men and women. Teddy also tried contacting Mr. Kwon the legendary Knight General before him but failed to do so.

"Dad...I think it is time for us to go back to Jaragon. I have already learned the things that I need to learn though I will not stop there. I will continue to learn further to show my people, that I am the true future Queen of Jaragon can be trusted, and will work harder for them."

After a couple of weeks of taking care of everything that they needed to take care of before they go back to the Jaragon Kingdom. They have finally set their feet in their home country from which they were forced to leave for fifteen long years ago.

"Wow! I can't believe that we are back." Teddy whispered still trying to comprehend everything as he looked around the airport and saw all the trusted men he had contacted prior. They are all in disguise and discreetly mingling with people. Only he can recognize them.

Jaejoong was the one who picked them up and not entirely know of their full identities.

"How was your flight?" he asked them.

Dara smiled at him before replying. "Long. But it was all good." they both chuckled.

"I have arranged a hotel for you both to stay in which is close to my company."

Dara gave him a tight lip smile as they drove down the city of Jaragon. Dara is completely unfamiliar with her home country as far as places to go to. But she is very well educated about their government's law and regulations.

The Jaragon Kingdom is a small island country that is surrounded by a body of water near South Korea. It is similar to Santorini Greece's infrastructure except it's on the Asia landmass. They have two seasons which are wet and dry. One of the reasons why they chose Australia to live in after living in America for eight years. Dara does not like winter. She cannot stand it.

This is the very first time that she had seen or ever been in the city. She had been homeschooled from TK to fourth grade. She didn't have any friends whether it's inside nor outside the castle. Her father kept her hidden inside the castle. She had only studied and seen the whole Jaragon Kingdom through books and video documentaries. Though there was one boy that she barely remembered who became her friend for a short time before the takeover happened. She can not remember his name because she was only six years old and he was eight at that time and then he suddenly stopped coming. But when given a chance she would try to recall the past. Now that she's matured at the age of twenty-five she's planning to explore and study their own cultures and given a chance to get to know her people.

Dara sniffed and this didn't go unnoticed by Teddy as he knows that this is the first time that Dara's ever been out to see this part of Jaragon. But to Jaejoong, he thought that Dara must be happy that he had asked her to move to this side of the country to be with him.

"Are you that happy because we're going to be in the same country now?"

Dara looked at him and gave him another tight lip smile and looked back out of the window as they are stopped on a red light. She noticed a nice black Rolls Royce stopped by in front of a very tall and attractive building. She saw a man stepped out of the car wearing a designer black suit, very tall and seems to be well built with jet black hair oozing with a powerful aura. She also noticed that the people who saw him bowed down to him but the man did not even stop and just kept on walking. Just then the light turned green and the man is also long gone inside the building.

A few minutes later. "Here we are." Jaejoong then said.

Teddy got out of the car first and opened the door for Dara then went to the back of the car to fetch their luggage out of the trunk. Jaejoong then helped Dara out of the car.

Jaejoong has rented the penthouse for them and as they settled in their temporary home, he asked them to go out for dinner. But Teddy refused to go with them and told them that, "I'm too tired to go out right now. Why don't the two of you go and enjoy your dinner."

Dara was a bit hesitant to leave her adopted father but he ensures them that he will be fine. "It's okay, I will be fine. I will just order room service. You two enjoy your dinner." But in reality, Teddy needs to start working now that he's back in the country with the princess. He needs to enable his knight men.

Jaejoong and Dara arrived at the rooftop restaurant that he reserved for the both of them. The waiter led them to their table near the window overlooking the city lights. Dara was so amazed and excited for everything that the future held for her.

As they were eating, she noticed a small group of people not far from their table all wearing a business suit. She studied each one as she saw a familiar figure sitting with his back facing her. It was the same man that she saw stepping out of the Rolls Royce earlier.

"Darling, tomorrow I'm going to pick you up and have you signed a contract with my company and assigned you a manager."

"Okay. What time are you coming to pick me up?" Though Dara is still not confident about how their relationship is going to be she just brushed it aside for now.

"Around nine o'clock." Dara then nodded.
